"This invigorating book approaches social policy as a response to socioeconomic tensions and conflicts brought about by capitalist development, exploring how such policy reflects and shapes the world of work and socioeconomic life. Ay???se Bu???gra presents a historical overview of the ideas and politics of social policy in a discussion framed around the interrelated questions of poverty, work and inequality. Tracing the origins of modern social policy back from the early capitalist societies of Europe to the present era of global neoliberal capitalism, Bu???gra explores the debates on social assistance, labour market regulation and social risk protection in different phases of capitalist history.
